Can anyone with an HD 7970/7970Ghz tell me how they like it? Is it a good card? Does it run hot, or loud?
I want to just play osu on one monitor, and anime/Firefox on another monitor. I know fuck all of gpus.
This is the list that it will go into, I plan on keeping this for as long as possible.

It's old as shit at this point.
Still a solid card though.
Mine is still chugging along perfectly fine at 1.2GHz after 4 years and mining buttcoins and litecoins for 6 months straight at 90°C
If you can wait a month or two, buy an RX 480 for just $200.
It's miles ahead in performance and has a much lower power draw.

As for temperatures, my Sapphire one reaches around 75°C at 1.2GHz.
At full load you can definitely hear it, not much worse than other GPUs though.

Thanks famo, I came across a deal for one for $80 on local CraigslisT. I have a budget of $400 or so so with the card it's pushing it anyway.

Seems like a decent deal
